re: #546 Bagua

It is not too much to ask and there is no question the American, British, Israeli and our other allies set high standards for moral conduct in war that is unique in human history.

Dealing with terrorist who have no nation, no declared war and whose agenda is the massacre of civilians is something that goes beyond the normal rules or war, the Geneva Convention and humanity itself. It is a dilemma for a modern, moral society to determine the rules of engagement.

Agreed, it is a tricky matter, at least during the Cold War, both sides could agree to the idea of MAD….
